As I replied to a peer comment, my employer moved my office from a 10m walk downtown near my house to a 45-60m multi-modal commute to an industrial office park. I didn't sign up for that, but I like my job. Now if they'd had to factor in reimbursements for actual distance traveled for employees maybe they'd be more motivated to stick closer -- and to only hire employees within a distance budget they're willing to pay.
- woooooo 2y agoBut is it closer to the CEO's house?
- arcticbull 2y agoIt certainly is lol, how did you guess?
- woooooo 2y agoI once heard it proposed as an immutable law of nature, been looking for exceptions ever since. None so far.
- nox101 2y agoSounds like you should look for a new job. Jobs move. My Mom's company moved from San Diego to Denver. She quit.
- arcticbull 2y agoFor what it's worth I like my job, if I didn't I probably would have made the move when the office relocation was announced. I was just pushing back on the idea the only employees are to blame for commutes. I take the train and bike now and it's chill, but certainly less efficient.
